IF i speak in the Tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If i have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if i have a faith that can move mountains, but  have not love, Iam nothing. If i give all i possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but not love, i gain nothing.

"LOVE is patience, LOVE is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. LOVE does not delight in evil but rejoice in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,always preseveres.

LOve never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled;where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfrction  comes, the imperfects disappears. When i was a child , I talkes like a child, I thought like a child, Ireasoned like a child. When i grew , i put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection; then we shal see face to face. Now I know in part; then we shall know fully, even as i am fully known.

AND THESE THREE REMAIN: FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE. But the GREATEST OF THESE is LOVE
